~My heart is racing as the footsteps of you approach the doors of my mind. You knock. Subtly. I let you in. And then I'm gone.~
We like to think we know Know the difference between Wrong And Right But will we ever? We like to think we hold the world in our hands We like to think that we can control everything that is thrown at us We like to hide behind masks and tattered sheaths of confidence We all look at the world differently And the world to you Is not the world to someone else So do we really know What the world is let alone what is wrong in it and what is right?

We don't know
It clings to me when I walk It's noticeable in my voice when I talk It holds me back from my dreams It takes away the gleam From my eyes And makes me despise My own voice My own face Myself It's inevitable it seems These feelings, they deem, Control over my mind It's becoming so hard to find Out how to make it stop So I am no longer a prop No longer a toy No longer a victim Finally free. I'm learning to let go To make it bestow All it's false power upon me To not let it change the way I see The stage light shining down And my voice that never lets me down

Letting Go
That night we said a million words One of them being I love you And then I finally heard You say you loved me too My heart skipped a beat My mind practically shut off Little did I know it'd be bittersweet Our love seemed to stop after takeoff My love went on But your love for me dwindled It almost seems gone But my love for you is forever kindled You say you still love me You say you still care Why is it so hard for me to see There's something still there

Love perhaps?... maybe. No
I've loved you I've loved you for a day Then a day more The weeks become longer And I've began to ponder Us together You've never loved me Not even for a second Not even half of one The truth becomes crushing I now am rushing To win you over You never will love me Not for a day Nor for a second But I will love you I love all the things you do And it will **** me

Heartbreak
Gasping for air As the water fills my lungs I can see your penetrating stare As I listen to the songs the water has sung The melody is not comforting I can only remember your face Your presence leaves me wondering Of all the space Filled with water That's leaves me quarantined from you I am a victim of your slaughter There was nothing I could do

Drowning
The cement is covered in unwanted glass The ceiling looks as though it may collapse Suddenly I fall into an unwanted relapse Where my mind floats in empty halls Behind plaster and thin walls Then the ground shakes And falls apart You cannot make Anything of it Or you're right back at the start

A pitiful ending
they whisk you away to a world of decay where they build themselves up and then return back to gray they become tangled in a twist of unexplained and mangled Thoughts that resonate And then soon dissipate Into nothing but confusion Sometimes they're nothing but delusions Whether real or fake We always will ache When our feeling of love Is shoved out of the way And then we fall all the same When it comes back another day

Feelings
Overwhelming waves of paranoia Headaches that linger for days Uninvited feelings of nausea Nothing to do but lay In your bed feeling trapped Feelings that aren't so nice You appear to have almost snapped Maybe once... or twice Don't worry they say to me Oh but sweetheart, have you met my anxiety?

Anxiety
Broken disassembled fragments, a fragile moonstone radiates brightly It's color reflects off the splintered mirror Shattering it's own happiness It self destructs It has chose it's path A scandalous course A mediocre lesson A heartfelt decision Yet it longs! To put it self back together The glue does not hold Scattering in all directions, The pieces fall to the gelid ground

Shattered
Thick chilling lines Trick trick trickling down the canvas Swift passionate movements A cold critical stare The colors are entangled with passion The paint lays in heaps of hard work Yet you crash to the linoleum Thrashing out your arms- Then all is still and smells of lavender The birds of the canvas sing Their songs melancholy and hopefully Yet they will never fly
